ITT: a lot of people reading this to be specifically and only for cis white men, but they’re talking about the power any in-group member has to shut down bigoted shit and that’s what we should be focusing on. In a space where the biggest in-group is black women this post would be about them, but the most common “in-group” (disproportionately so) is white cis men so that’s who they mention. If this is making you feel attacked or targeted then please set aside that part of it and don’t discard the actual message, because this is honestly something everyone should think about.

Anytime you’re accepted somewhere, whether in public or among strangers, you have a lot of social power when it comes to setting the tone of conversation - one loud idiot can make a space feel extremely hostile to an outsider, and if everybody gives a polite laugh instead of speaking up that idiot learns saying things like that is okay and the “outsider” learns they’re not truly welcome. Literally one person who speaks up instead of letting it fly can solve this - the message is to be that person, not to attack anyone in particular.

Good luck with the 7800xt, I think that would be pretty ideal if you get a price you’re happy with for it. For the 3060ti I’d probably go with a 7600xt instead personally, unless you want the raytracing performance (probably not useful for older games) or the cuda cores. The 4060ti also has a 16gb vram version iirc, which might come in around the price point you’re hoping for on Black Friday (we can hope, anyway). Either way, good luck!

My favourite part is that the quotations are part of the title, not added by the article

I thought Ubisoft offered the scans but they weren’t actually used?

Someone made a mod to replace the intro audio with that and it brings me so much joy lmao

@edmundmcmillen You litte F**ker You made a shit of piece with your trash Issac it’s f**King Bad this trash game I will become back my money I hope you will in your next time a cow on a trash farm you sucker

Walrus operator my beloved

I love the concept, but the ugly reality is that anyone can spin up an instance and pour in an arbitrary number of votes to themselves or anyone else. I think the credibility score would give people a false confidence and honestly do more harm than good unfortunately

Honestly small anecdotal evidence is better than no evidence, so thank you for these

Awesome thank you again!

The debit card was the plan, although tbh I’m just as worried about my data being stolen as I would be for a card. If I start getting spammed after ordering this I’m signing their helpdesk email up for the nastiest porn shit I can find 😭

So after use I clean it and then apply mineral oil for storage, got it. Stupid question: is it safe to clean with hot water and dish soap for food-related stuff? Like I can use WD40 to get sap off, but afterwards do I just clean it like a kitchen knife or are there special considerations to make?

I’m buying this knife because of your recommendation(slash approving writeup of it), so the sharpener you recommend is an easy buy too (especially cuz @southsamurai suggested the same one).

Thank you so much for - in chronological order - doing your really awesome writeups that got me into this c/, experimenting with cheap/knockoff knives and posting your findings, being willing to answer noob questions, and finally for your specific advice here. I really appreciate you for it!

I don’t have any plans to EDC rn, but this feels like the comment that if/when I start I look back on like “oh fuck they were so right why didn’t I do what they said” lmao. Still, as a rule I spend the minimum reasonable amount on new hobbies since I have the toxic ADHD trait of constantly picking up new hobbies and (most of the time) dropping them soon after. If this turns out to be a thing for me, I’ll def be coming back to reread this comment for the next purchase. Thanks!

Damn I really appreciate the tips, thank you! I probably should have mentioned in the post that I’m looking at the other “color” of the knife on that page (the 440C one) and their site just doesn’t have a convenient way to link it lol. Hopefully that’s slightly more practical than the damascus? It’s definitely gonna be for light work (food and campfire wood mostly) but I’ll probably need to sharpen it eventually anyway so thanks for the tips on sharpening.
I’ll pick up some mineral oil - that’s really good to know. Is 440C any better in this respect?
The morakniv sounds good, but the folding is important to me cuz 90% of what I need from a knife is just easy portability.
Thank you again for all the advice, I really appreciate it!

That’s where I’m hoping this sketchy website comes in tbh, since they claim to ship worldwide and who knows how thoroughly they label their packages

Worst case scenario that might be the play, thanks!

I’m in Ontario, but the legality of this knife is much less of a concern to me than whether or not I can actually get my hands on it lmao

I’m a little bit biased here but it might be a good idea to use an instance like lemmy.zip instead, to minimize the amount of defederation going on.

Yea this opinion gets dramatically worse if you enjoy the old American slave music too Edit: also I think people voting on your post might be forgetting the purpose of this sub a little lmao

Shame they changed it, I think it was kinda cute Microsoft named it after their execs

if when
